Goats on the Roof is the Parkway's purest roadside stop: live goats grazing on the roof, fed by a pedal-powered contraption visitors crank themselves; a mile-long mountain coaster; a gift shop deep in bear puns ('the right to keep and arm bears'); and, since 2025, dinosaurs — Jurassic Tymes mini golf played among animatronic dinosaurs with blinking eyelids and wagging tails. Tampa Jay files the goat feeding under 'goat therapy,' and the whole stop runs on that energy.

Goats On The Roof Alpine Mountain Coaster! ~Dinosaurs, Goats and Bigfoot~ Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Everyday Adventures with Jim

Everyday Adventures with Jim do the whole stop in October 2026 — the dinosaurs, the goats and the coaster Jim calls one of Pigeon Forge's best. Filmed and narrated in English; only an Arabic auto-translated caption track was available, so it is cataloged here as watch content.

Goats on the Roof in Pigeon Forge | Feeding Goats & Riding the Mountain Coaster POV

Tampa Jay

Tampa Jay's Pigeon Forge Roadside Attractions episode lands at Goats on the Roof after a quick look at Laserport down the road: feeding the rooftop goats ('goat therapy,' he calls it), the pedal-powered contraption that delivers their food, and a full Goat Coaster POV.

Key takeaways
  • The rooftop goats are fed via a pedal-powered delivery contraption
  • The Goat Coaster ride is filmed in full POV
  • The stop pairs the coaster with goat feeding as one roadside package

Goats On The Roof / Goat Coaster / Jurassic Tymes Golf / What did We Think? Pigeon Forge 2025

Yankee in the South

Yankee in the South visit in 2025, the year the dinosaurs moved in: Jurassic Tymes mini golf ($15 a person as filmed) played among animatronic dinosaurs with moving eyelids and wagging tails — two courses, an easy side and a much steeper hard side — goats overhead throughout.

Key takeaways
  • Jurassic Tymes mini golf ($15 as filmed) plays among animatronic dinosaurs
  • The golf has two sides — an easy course and a much steeper hard course
  • The dinosaurs animate: blinking eyelids, wagging tails

The Goat Coaster

The coaster runs about a mile and up to 30 mph, per the venue, rider-controlled all the way down. K&E RV TV argue it beats its famous neighbor half a mile up the road — cheaper ($12 as filmed) and open-up-able in a way the bigger ride is not. Adventure Is Out There's series entry (#8) adds speakers playing rock music along the track, a wooded climb where a bear sighting wouldn't surprise them, and their standing tip: come back at night for the lit course. The full night run closes this page.

The dinosaurs moved in

Jurassic Tymes golf ($15 a person as filmed) has two sides — an easy course and a much steeper hard course — played under the goats. The October 2026 visit at the top of the page does the whole current stop: dinosaurs, goats and the coaster its host calls one of Pigeon Forge's best.

Coaster #8 | Goats on The Roof in Pigeon Forge | Full POV & Review!

Adventure Is Out There

Adventure Is Out There's coaster #8: rock music on speakers along the track, a wooded climb where a bear sighting wouldn't surprise them, a strong tip to come back for the night ride under the course lights, and their series ranking.

Key takeaways
  • Speakers play rock music along the course
  • The wooded climb gives real Smokies scenery — and bear potential
  • The crew's tip: come back at night for the lit course

FULL RIDE ON THE GOAT COASTER AT GOATS ON THE ROOF IN PIGEON FORGE, TN | BEST ROAD SIDE STOP

K&E RV TV

K&E RV TV argue the Goat Coaster beats its famous neighbor half a mile up the road: cheaper ($12 as filmed), with rider-controlled speed you can genuinely open up — plus goats to pet and feed and a fudge-and-ice-cream gift shop.

Key takeaways
  • The reviewers rate it above the better-known alpine coaster half a mile away
  • Cheaper than its neighbor — $12 as filmed
  • Speed is rider-controlled and can genuinely be opened up

One stop, three tickets of fun

Feed delivery by bicycle, a coaster ridden twice on camera in the tour film, fudge and ice cream in the gift shop: the roadside package is the point, and every film here treats it as one stop rather than three attractions.
